A man who used to dig up bodies of recently deceased women and defile them was arrested from a graveyard in Paposh Nagar on Saturday. The suspected necrophiliac, the caretaker of the graveyard, was responsible for watering the graves. According to complaints received by the police, some people had been dishonouring corpses of recently buried women.
A police officer at the Nazimabad police station said the detainee has admitted to desecrating at least 48 dead women in the past few months. Police have registered the First Information Report against the suspect. The police officer said, “We are speechless. This case is a first for us.”
The man has confessed and police are investigating the matter, he added. Police said they were suspicious that something strange was going on at the Paposh Nagar graveyard. Locals had complained about dug graves appearing in the past two months. Neighbours started to keep an eye vigil on the activities of people visiting the graveyard, law enforcers said.
“We received a phone call from one of the neighbours who said he had witnessed a lot of activity in the graveyard,” police said. They said, “According to the neighbour, hardly anybody was present at the graveyard but there was a lot of commotion. We sent a police party with a mobile unit to the site and caught the man in the act.”
A case has been registered in the name of Riaz, son of Sher Alam, under Sections 297, 354, 376 and 377. A small packet containing five grams of hashish was also recovered from the accused man. Another case has also been registered under Section 6/9 B, the police added.
